Replacing the SBD Dauntless in 1943 as the U.S. Navy’s premier dive bomber, the SB2C Helldiver sank more Japanese ships in the Pacific than any other Allied aircraft. Mostly launching from aircraft carriers, the plane’s wings folded up to form a triangle, making it capable of being stacked and stored which created more room for takeoff or landing and allowed more planes to be stored on airfields or carriers. Capable of carrying 2,000 pounds of bombs or a single torpedo in the internal bomb bay, the Helldiver’s ordnance payload made it a formidable opponent over sea or land.
